Health care providers in rural areas are often unable to attend continuing education trainings due to limited staffing coverage. The coronavirus pandemic has created a unique situation, requiring many health care providers to obtain continuing education through virtual offerings.
This study used a descriptive design with a team-developed presurvey for demographics, 2 posttraining instruments, and a team-developed competency validation checklist.
The study sample included nurse practitioner (NP) students and practicing NPs. All participants met competency in the skills validation.
The results indicate that continuing education and competency validation of procedures is feasible in a virtual format.
